攻防进阶，战开新章。

Raging Swordsman's spiritual energy swelled, his Qi surged like a white rainbow. As his sword danced, his ultimate move was ready!

"Wan Yin Tian Shu, Sword Returns to Origin!" As he roared, the power descended.

As the saying goes... Hao Ran's sword splits chaos, forged a thousand times in the heart.

Raging Swordsman's ultimate technique, a sword with vast power, changed the very color of the wind and clouds.

Feng Bujue knew the power of this move and didn't dare to be careless. He immediately used the defensive effect of [Immovable as a Mountain] and blocked with his weapon.

Buzz—

Instantly, a bell-like sound echoed, and the violently colliding energies bloomed on the earth, creating a surging sandstorm around them.

"Speaking of which..." From the dissipating sandstorm, Feng Bujue stood unscathed, but his expression suddenly turned cold. "...Back in Linlu Town (Sword God Smiles Arc), I seem to have seen you use this skill..." He paused for half a second, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes. "If I remember correctly, Ruoyu was cut down by you with this move, right..."

"Ah..." Reminded by him, Raging Swordsman also had a vague impression. "I guess so."

"Hmm..." Feng Bujue nodded, pondering. "Since you admit it, then... for all the physical damage I suffered later (Ruoyu beating me after the seal was shaken), you have to take some responsibility, right?"

"Huh?" Raging Swordsman could only respond like that, because he didn't understand what the other party was talking about at all.

Of course, whether he understood was secondary; as long as Feng Bujue could convince himself with his own logic, he could do anything without pressure.

"There's no need for you to say anything! Eat my Shattering Heaven and Earth Primal Chaos Palm!" The next second, Brother Jue spun and changed his stance amid the roar, using the palm force he had secretly gathered in his left hand for a long time to unleash a palm strike.

This move was not a bluff, but a genuine [Shattering Heaven and Earth Primal Chaos Palm]... Before the vast palm force was even unleashed, the sky above the battlefield already showed a scene of thunderbolts hanging upside down and the sky collapsing.

Seeing this, Raging Swordsman's first reaction was to dodge, but... just as he was about to activate the spiritual energy in his feet, he found that the palm of his opponent's hand was emitting a vortex-like energy, which generated a pulling force on him, severely hindering his movements.

"What kind of operation is this?" Raging Swordsman had fought against no less than eighty or a hundred experts, but he had never seen anyone who could use a control skill with the same hand while using a striking skill.

However, he saw it today...

Feng Bujue was that kind of person.

Brother Jue now used skills that he had "mastered" after "understanding" them; in other words... when using a certain skill, he wasn't running a set of system-defined "programs", but a set of "programs" that he had rewritten and generated himself.

Although at the beginning, Feng Bujue had simply copied those system-defined "skills", with his personality, he would obviously not be content with the status quo just because this ability was very strong...

After several months of development, Brother Jue had been able to "combine" some skills, greatly increasing their power and tactical value.

Right now, the [Shattering Heaven and Earth Primal Chaos Palm] he was using had a code for the C-level skill [Reverse Wind Eye] added to it, so during the charging phase... it had an extra effect of attracting the enemy.

"Ha!" After about a second of hesitation, Raging Swordsman knew that not only could he not dodge, but he had also missed the best time to respond. Helpless, he had to shout loudly, forcefully activate his spiritual energy, and surrender his only defensive skill—[Miao Yun Armor].

This was an A-level skill that created energy armor with sword energy. It didn't have too many fancy special effects, and its tactical significance was average, but... it worked.

Boom—

The palm force struck, and the cloud armor resisted.

After a brief contact, Raging Swordsman retreated, spitting out blood even after dissipating most of the force of the move.

Taking advantage of this gap, Feng Bujue gripped and pulled out the [Z-wrench], transforming it into a nunchaku form, and then chased after him.

On Raging Swordsman's side... he didn't lose his posture due to the injury. He had already adjusted his breathing while retreating, ready to meet the opponent's next move.

At this moment, seeing Brother Jue chasing after him, Raging Swordsman wasn't surprised but smiled. His sword fingers came together, and he concentrated his Qi on the blade. A red light suddenly rose from the sword.

"Blood Stains the Martial World!"

As he roared, his ultimate move appeared again.

[Blood Stains the Martial World] was unpredictable, combining the essence of Raging Swordsman's swordsmanship. It could be said that one move transformed into ten thousand, and ten thousand moves returned to one.

Although this move had been defeated by Ruoyu's [Remnant Wind Sword Shadow - Demonic Sword Frenzy] back then, Ruoyu at that time was in an unrepeatable [Phoenix Dies, Phoenix Reborn] state, and her combat power far exceeded the norm, which couldn't be measured by ordinary standards.

Feng Bujue at this time hadn't undergone any transformation skills and had no advantage in the face of this S-level skill.

However, he still resolutely rushed towards the red light in front of him, as if he didn't care about Raging Swordsman's ultimate move.

Puff—

The sword fell, and the skin broke open.

But... it was just a skin wound.

"This!" The moment the sword in his hand struck Brother Jue, Raging Swordsman was shocked.

He should be surprised, because his [Blood Stains the Martial World], which was enough to instantly kill a person into minced meat and blood mist, only caused a slight injury after hitting the target... it didn't even cut through the opponent's bones.

"Heh... this little blood can't stain the martial world red..." A moment later, Feng Bujue, whose shoulder had been struck by the sword, suddenly teleported behind Raging Swordsman and taunted him in a very relaxed tone.

This also convinced Raging Swordsman... that this scene wasn't some kind of illusion. Feng Bujue had really taken the [Blood Stains the Martial World] and only suffered a slight injury, and he had immediately shifted his position after being hit.

"As expected..." Raging Swordsman's mind flashed quickly. "He used some kind of 'other person's skill' to dissolve my move..."

His deduction was completely correct.

What Feng Bujue used was the S-level reconnaissance skill [My Skateboard Shoes] that Doomsday Stronghold had used on him in S2, the effect of which was: [After activation, the next melee damage you receive will be reduced by 90%, and all special effects attached to the attack will not be triggered; at the end of the attack, you will automatically move behind the attacker and gain a double attack speed bonus for four seconds (cooldown time is thirty minutes, lasts for five seconds after activation, if no damage is received within five seconds, the skill will still enter cooldown and consume energy)]

Although this skill required a full 1200 stamina points to activate, the effect was truly heaven-defying, and it was a parry skill that was very suitable for Brother Jue's current combat style.

Feng Bujue, who had come behind Raging Swordsman, held the nunchaku that had been charged to 58% (the ice and fire attributes at both ends had been activated), and relying on the four-second double attack speed bonus, he raised his hand and greeted him with a series of attacks.

For a time, the nunchaku shadows swallowed the sun and the moon, and the battle Qi covered the wind and dust.

The ultra-high-speed dual-attribute combo struck Raging Swordsman's back like a storm. Although Raging Swordsman also turned around and responded in time, he had already suffered a great loss in those first three seconds...

It had to be said that Feng Bujue's round of attacks was extremely shrewd and efficient; the moment he made his move, Raging Swordsman's Qi and energy were in a state of sudden decline after using [Blood Stains the Martial World]... In this state, even if his consciousness reacted quickly, his body wouldn't be able to keep up when faced with a surprise attack from behind.

Catching him off guard and attacking the weak with the strong allowed Feng Bujue to gain a great advantage; if the [Shattering Heaven and Earth Primal Chaos Palm] relied on its power to forcefully eat away a little of the opponent's health, then this wave of combos relied on the superiority of the skill to bully him...

"Alas... Although I knew it was very likely that I couldn't beat him... has the gap really reached this point..." Raging Swordsman, whose health was gradually running out, thought to himself while parrying the opponent's subsequent attacks, "Is this... my limit..."

Thinking of this, Raging Swordsman couldn't help but feel sad.

Meng Jingchan, Xu Huishang, Oda Ai, Li Ruoyu... Leaving aside Gui Xiao, Shiva, and other "monsters" who were different from him, even in the field of swordsmanship, there were too many existences that made him feel daunted.

Feng Bujue, who was originally about the same as him, had unknowingly drifted further and further away; looking at him now... he couldn't even see his back.

The cruel reality and the pride of a swordsman spurred his sorrow and determination even more.

At this moment of mixed feelings, Raging Swordsman expressed his feelings and entrusted them to his sword, chanting the mantra: "Ji Wu She (Frenzy)!" (Obliterate Without Mercy)

As he spoke, the sword followed, creating unprecedented sword might: yang, strong, domineering, absolute.

"Zhao Wu Ji (Traces)!" (Moves Without a Trace)

The second line of the mantra led to the second style of swordsmanship: yin, soft, mysterious, leisurely.

"Cao Wu Feng (Sword)!" (Blade Without Edge)

When this third style was unleashed, Feng Bujue, who had been suppressing Raging Swordsman, had already been forced to retreat a dozen feet away. At the same time, the blade of the sword in Raging Swordsman's hand... had rapidly transformed from a tangible object into a state similar to energy.

"Dao Wu Xing (Shadow)!" (Path Without Form)

After reciting the four lines of the mantra, a Spiritual Weapon had emerged, taking the form of the long sword in Raging Swordsman's hand.

This sword was named—[None], everything was none, even the system description was blank... Only those who reached the "None Realm" of the sword could obtain it.

Perhaps this was really fate. In the last duel between Raging Swordsman and Feng Bujue, Feng Bujue had shouted out his poem at the critical moment of life and death and obtained a Spiritual Weapon; and this time... Raging Swordsman, after his emotions exploded, chanted a poem and obtained a Spiritual Weapon, allowing him to reach a new realm.

"Come again!" After Raging Swordsman's combat power soared, he didn't slack off in the slightest. After using those four moves, he just observed and experienced his current state slightly before immediately shouting lightly and attacking again.

He knew very well that Feng Bujue's true strength was far more than what he had shown so far; not to mention anything else, his "three-stage transformation" in the last round of the competition was enough to change the situation again... Therefore, Raging Swordsman didn't intend to give Feng Bujue a chance to breathe and immediately chased after him with his sword.

"Come if you want!" Brother Jue, on the other hand, was unwilling to show weakness.

Through the data perspective, Feng Bujue naturally saw Raging Swordsman's progress clearly; for him, this was also a good opportunity... How to defeat a top expert without using one-time consumables and the "Chuck Norris" series of abilities was a problem that Feng Bujue had to solve in the next few rounds of the competition.

Considering this... Raging Swordsman was precisely a hurdle, an obstacle that he had to overcome.

Clang—

In that instant, the sword came, the nunchaku resisted, and the sound of the collision pierced the sky.

The battle started again, and the battle level rose again.

The killing shadows intertwined, and the eyes were filled with flying dust.

The "None Realm" Raging Swordsman was like an incarnation of the sword; selfless, unintentional, with moves without a trace, a blade without edge, a meaning without form, and a kill without mercy, he was clearly the nemesis of Zero Time Difference Calculation.

Faced with this kind of opponent whose movements couldn't be predicted, Feng Bujue couldn't strike first and could only rely on his reaction and speed to fight.

Therefore, even if the price was quite high, Brother Jue continued to activate [Spirit Consciousness Convergence Technique - Extreme], using his self-created nunchaku technique to confront the enemy head-on...

The two clashed in close combat, and their figures fought in one place... soaring into the sky and plunging into the earth, with thousands of slashes and tens of thousands of strikes; light and shadows scattered in all directions, the sounds of killing resounded, and spiritual energy collided, matching each other in strength.

This duel, not to mention the audience, even the experts who were watching the battle were attracted by this smooth and unrestrained fierce battle; they couldn't say a word and couldn't take their eyes off it for half a second.

And the two people on the field were fighting more and more fiercely...

The sword without a blade was as fast as lightning and as fierce as thunder, with strange moves emerging one after another, changing in thousands of ways.

The double nunchaku turned cold flames into ice and blazing waves into fire, killing with dual polarities, the moves were fierce and the momentum was rampant.

The extreme of the sword was to meet madness with martial arts.

One used the sword to prove his heart and chase his fated enemy; the other was like a clear mirror stopping water, reaching his own creation.

This battle between a tiger and a dragon stirred the dark wind and clouds, frightened the heavens and the earth, and shook the eight wastelands.

The vast boundless sand seemed to be cheering for this great battle, and suddenly the wind and sand rose sharply, and the clouds turned and the hills moved.

Finally... after a quarter of an hour of fighting, another variable was born!

"Although it's enjoyable, it seems it's time to end it..." When Raging Swordsman said this, he suddenly swept his sword away, temporarily stopping the offensive.

"Yeah..." On the other side, Feng Bujue also took the opportunity to retreat and stood a few feet away from his opponent, frankly replying, "If we continue fighting, I'm going to self-destruct..."

Because [Spirit Consciousness Convergence Technique - Extreme] "increases one's own strength and speed in proportion" and "the greater the increase, the greater the loss incurred", so fighting to this point... Brother Jue's health was even lower than Raging Swordsman's.

One could imagine how much pressure Brother Jue was under in order to keep up with the speed of the "None Realm" Raging Swordsman when Zero Time Difference Calculation didn't work.

"Make your move, I know... you have at least one 'decisive means'." Two seconds later, Raging Swordsman continued.

"How do you know I have one?" Feng Bujue asked.

"Because you are Feng Bujue." Raging Swordsman replied in a matter-of-course tone.

"Hmm." Brother Jue responded, a wry smile appearing on his face. "Yeah... you're right, because I am Feng Bujue!"

When he said the last word, he suddenly threw the nunchaku in his hand towards his opponent.

Then, he raised his hands and crossed his wrists in front of his eyes, extending his index and middle fingers... At the same time as he made this movement, two playing cards flashing with black light instantly appeared between his sword fingers.

"Hmph... well done." Looking at the nunchaku that was attacking him like lightning, Raging Swordsman's lips curled slightly, and he thought to himself, "To surpass you or to fulfill you, it all depends on this move!"

As soon as his thoughts were settled, his ultimate move was formed.

At that moment, the blade of the long sword in Raging Swordsman's hand... completely disappeared, and a cylindrical "domain" immediately appeared around him.

All forms and shapes return to nothingness, Raging Swordsman alone remains.

In this "Swordless Domain", all materials except Raging Swordsman himself will be dominated by sword intent.

Where the sword Qi resides, the power rises from the ground, pulling up peaks and drawing up mountains, and the mad sand trembles.

The moment Brother Jue's nunchaku flew into the range of that "domain", it was sent into the sky by an invisible force... Not to mention harming Raging Swordsman, it couldn't even touch him.

However, Feng Bujue himself followed behind the nunchaku and broke into this sword domain, and he wasn't pushed into the sky.

Because he used the effect four of the [Exodia Incarceration Set]—[Seal Breaker], ignoring the "defensive effect" in Raging Swordsman's move, so he passed this level, but... the "Swordless Domain" was an integrated attack and defense, even if he passed the defense, what awaited Brother Jue... was the sword Qi's kill.

"Hand over your life!" Seeing the enemy approaching, Raging Swordsman showed no mercy and unleashed a move to force his life.

"Hmph..." Feng Bujue naturally wouldn't be polite. In the surrounding sword Qi that was forcing its way in, he also used his trump card... which was his triple mystery that combined [Evil King's Flaming Killing Hell Scorch], [Nanto Flying Dragon Fist], and [Card Assassination Technique], and he named it, "[Evil King Dragon Killing Slash]!"
